They wanted someone to do legal + corp sec work and didn't want to offer compensation in line with market rates.

I was offered 2 other positions (1 European mnc, 1 US mnc - both regional counsel roles) almost immediately after this interview so it was not a big loss to me. Both companies offered me at least ~3k more than what this firm was offering for my pqe. I was pqe 4 at the time and had 2 years law firm experience coupled with 2 years in-house (as regional counsel with another European mnc) experience.

This was a year before covid so the economy was still pretty good and i wasn't desperate enough.
